Oranda Goldfish (Carassius auratus auratus) 207636158_2d53a55f40_m

Common Name : Oranda
Latin Name : Carassius auratus auratus
Origin :The Goldfish, a wild carp originally known by such names as the Crucian Carp, Gibel Carp, or Golden Carp, was described by Linnaeus in 1758. They originated in Asia; Central Asia and China. Today domesticated goldfish are distributed world-wide. These fish inhabit the slow moving and stagnant waters of rivers, lakes, ponds, and ditches feeding on plants, detritus, small crustaceans, and insects.
These fish were developed in China, and in the early 1600's were exported, first to Japan and then to Europe, and were further developed into the wonderful colors and forms of gold fish we see today. The Oranda Goldfish is one of the older varieties of fancy goldfish, today there are more than 125 captive bred fancy varieties.
Temperature : 60-72ºF
Ease Of Keeping : Pretty easy
Aggressiveness : Peaceful
Size - Weight: Oranda Goldfish will generally reach about 6 - 7 inches (5-18 cm), though they have been known to grow much larger in many aquarists tanks. The largest known Oranda Goldfish is Bruce, bred in Hong Kong at the TungHoi Aquarium, where he is reported to have reached a whopping 15 inches (38 cm) in length!
Minimum Tank Size : 20 gallons
Feeding : Since they are omnivorous, the Oranda Goldfish will generally eat all kinds of fresh, frozen, and flake foods. To keep a good balance give them a high quality flake food everyday. To care for your Oranda Goldfish, feed brine shrimp (either live or frozen), blood worms, Daphnia, or tubifex worms as a treat. It is usually better to feed freeze-dried foods as opposed to live foods to avoid parasites and bacterial infections that could be present in live foods.
Life Span : 20 years

Are you selling Oranda's? I am looking to buy some Oranda's about 4" or larger but not at show quality prices! Do you know of anyone and will they ship?

Love it. Is that black and white (Panda)- one of yours?

I have to tell you about my Oranda. He started out brown or chocolate and he was about 3" in November - every morning I would check on him to see he was looking rough. I would watch him all day and no one was picking on him yet he lost a chunk of scales on one side and another chunk on the other side a few weeks later... I was stumped. Finally one day I was watching him and found out he kept getting stuck in a fake cave formation that was in the bottom of the aquarium. Apparently he thought if his head would fit the rest of him would fit. I removed the cave to the horror of my poor feather fin cat fish and Shrek has started looking better. The scales have all grown back. He is now about 75% orange/peach and just a little chocolate. I anticipate he will be completely orange in 2 more months and be about 6"

I would love to get another Oranda with better color but I can't find anything decent local and don't have $150-$200 for one of the super pretty guys I have seen advertised.

Very cool fish with fun personality good
